Why does Apricity attract so many Balkanids?

Because we're the last, true Europeans left.
We have not sold our ass to marxism & racial mixing, we are rude, harsh, sexy, very good looking and blessed with white genes.

Thou shall be jealous!

It's not a matter of tolerance at all. If you've noticed, the Balkanite threads tend to be flamewars.

If you're a Serb, you're probably going to be bored if there are no Bosniaks, Croats or Albanians to fight with... but if they're around, and there are plenty of Serbs, you're happy.

That is indeed very rare and good for TA. Usually older member dislike newer "circles" in the forums they are established in. This means that TA is actually moderated efficiently, preventing newer members from totally altering the "character" of the forum.

Their online battles are not really malicious. It's more of a love-hate relationship I think.

Here the 5-600,000 albanian immigrant susually marries italians and many of them even romanians and other white-immigrants...so, even your population are starting to mix.

I came here because that classification thing was interesting at the time and I wanted to find out what's my type. That's it.

Well, to be honest we have had this problem on TA as well. It was tricky to handle but I think we've done well.

At first, some members didn't want to accept Albanians and Bosniaks on the forum. Then the taboo was Turks.

What about Jews? Did they face a harsh time as well (they probably still do though, lol)? Also, which was the initial "dominant group" of TA?
